A calm, native space for the links people share.
Kotlin · Jetpack Compose · Android
Paste a link, then read, watch, and browse the content without the noise of the source app.
- Paste links from the clipboard or open Instagram links directly.
- Resolve public Instagram posts, reels, and carousels with photos and videos.
- Read comments, load more replies, refresh content, and revisit recent links.
- Open media in an edge-to-edge viewer with video playback and carousel navigation.
- Cache resolved content locally for a quicker return experience.
| Link type | Availability | Resolver |
|---|---|---|
Public Instagram posts (/p/) |
Available | Direct logged-out GraphQL resolver |
Public Instagram reels (/reel/, /reels/) |
Available | Direct GraphQL resolver, then hidden WebView fallback |
| Public Instagram carousels | Available | Instagram resolver chain above |
| Private posts, login-required content, challenges, consent flows | Unsupported | No resolver currently available |
Resolvers are selected through a shared prioritized resolver chain, so adding a new source does not require changing the viewer UI.
- Add more link sources, including Reddit, X/Twitter, TikTok, and YouTube.
- Add more Instagram features, including Stories.
- Improve sharing, link history, and source-specific viewing experiences.
Peek separates link resolution from presentation. Source-specific resolvers normalize content into shared domain models; repositories handle caching and pagination; ViewModels expose screen state; stateless Jetpack Compose UI renders it.

The app is a single-activity Kotlin/Jetpack Compose project. domain contains models, repository contracts, and use cases; data contains Instagram resolution, persistence, caching, and fixtures; ui contains navigation, ViewModels, mappers, and rendering.
Peek is early and intentionally small. Ideas, source integrations, design improvements, bug reports, and pull requests are all welcome—please include a short description and relevant tests when you can.
Requires JDK 17 and Android SDK 36.
